5,000-year-old wolves found on remote island rewrite what we know about domestication

Researchers have unearthed a fascinating clue about early human-animal interactions on a remote Baltic island. They found 5,000-year-old wolf remains that suggest these wolves were not just wild but had a unique relationship with humans, possibly being cared for and even selectively bred. This discovery challenges traditional views on domestication, hinting that humans and wolves may have had a closer bond much earlier than previously thought. The implications could reshape our understanding of early human societies and their interactions with animals.
